One Dress a Day Challenge

October: Gold Redux

Skyfall / Naomie Harris as Eve (Moneypenny)

To kick off a month of gold and silver, here's Eve Moneypenny in a stunning gold evening dress by Amanda Wakeley. Definitely some 1930s inspiration in the cut and drape of it, but also the slightly sculptural texturing that was popular in the 2010s. The version worn in the movie also includes a triple strand of ribbons going over the shoulder--more for the visual effect than for structural necessity, probably, since the original dress is strapless. In a walking shot, we also see she has matching shoes.

Someone on Twitter proposed a craig!bond, Brosnan!bond and Connery!bond crossover where they treat Connery!bond like the old insane bigot grandpa and Brosnan!bond as the pretty boy and I can't stop thinking about it.

CRAIG!BOND : Who are you, why are you here-

CONNERY!BOND : The HELL ?! M is a WOMAN-

BROSNAN!BOND : *just stands there looking pretty and menacing*

They do like, one mission, and Connery!bond and Craig!bond are getting into fights while Brosnan!bond is just like. steals a machine gun and shoots bad guys en masse.

*Brosnan!bond voice* Efficiency!

“My back is killing me. The contractions are not as bad as my back.”

Le Chiffre massages his lover's back, James sighs in relief as the tension in his back begins to go away, little Destiny Bond-Chiffre spotted a playing card on the floor and holds it, then thinks, saying "Poker." James lost the bet this time, their daughter's first word is indeed poker, just like Le Chiffre hoped it'd be...

"Haha, you lost that bet, Mr. Bond. Our little Destiny Bond-Chiffre's first word is indeed "poker," just like I hoped it would be. Anyway, are you okay, love?"

After finished the Craig's bond era for the million times, I just realized, that I turned into my parents, and Daniel Craig turned to Connery eras.

One Dress a Day Challenge

September: Bond Films

No Time to Die / Léa Seydoux as Madeleine Swann

Over the course of surveying several movies by now, I'm struck by how often "Bond girls" wear white, especially for day wear. Here's a simple but effective example from No Time to Die: a button-front dress by Spanish designer Massimo Dutti, made of soft ribbed material (knit?). As designed, the dress comes with a belt, but Madeleine doesn't wear it. With the white dress, Madeleine wears white Castañer Chiarita Espadrilles wedge sandals and carries a Tod's Double T Bucket Bag Mini purse. I didn't spot any jewelry.

White is a bit of a signature color for the character, as she also wore white in the previous film, Spectre. In this particular scene, it has the effect of making her look angelic and wronged when Bond accuses her of betraying him.

Although this film was released in 2021, it was filmed in 2019, so I'm filing it under 2010s fashion.

Hey, you're finally awake.

How have I never seen this picture of Daniel Craig photobombing Taylor Swift’s selfie before lmaooo help

characters that fit under the jessica rabbit paradigm off the top of my head (note these are not necessarily asexual, but if you know me, you know I read several of them as that)

slight amendment here then also is that there's a scale of how much of this occurs in original texts versus later adaptations of those texts. for example in the original scandal of bohemia, irene adler is a very different character to who she becomes later on, so her first appearance is not a case of jessica rabbit, however in interaction with later appearances -- most egregiously in sherlock -- she becomes jessica rabbit on a meta scale (the same can be said for lucy westenra or james kirk)

jessica rabbit, obviously

the doctor (mostly ten -- eleven too, but more in specific character interactions) (doctor who)

seven of nine (voyager)

james t kirk (star trek the original series)

lucy westenra (dracula)

irene adler (sherlock holmes)

(partner suggestion:) thirteen (house)

ethan hunt (mission impossible)

actually the jessica rabbit paradigm is one I'm going to take onboard more in regards to characters: "does this character actually fuck, or do other characters just want to fuck them?"

otherwise known as the "I'm not bad, I'm just drawn that way" dichotomy

obviously first coined by all those clever people who dubbed jessica rabbit an ace icon, and is applicable to other characters who are considered sexy by others, but which doesn't reflect their own canon attitude towards sexuality. this often including the writers and audiences of the text, who likewise project an allosexuality into a context in which it doesn't necessarily exist, based on the perceived attractiveness of the character and how other characters react to that perceived attractiveness

gotta say I'm loving the era hugh grant is in right now. he's daniel craig's domesticated husband. he's a paddington baddie. an oompa loompa. dungeons and dragons. now he's a horror movie villain? honestly good for him
